Zoneminder&Telegram (event instant messaging to your phone!)

[PacoLM]

Hi,

I'm not activating anything from ZM, the Telegram daemon is running in the same computer where ZM is installed. The Telegram daemon is running a LUA script that is looking for some special words to be received, so if one on them is received, the command associated to that word is executed.
I will try to document everything during next week, if I find some free time!

Regards,
Paco

Hey PacoLM,
can you post instructions on getting this to work? I can get around Zoneminder but have no clue about the telegram client.

Thanks for all your work.

Hi,

I was thinking in using my ZM server to be able to send instant messages to my phone with the pictures or videos. I found some information about how to send instant messaging with WhatsApp, but the company has changed the auth process, so I moved to Telegram (http://www.telegram.org).
You need to install expect (apt-get install expect).

Right now, I have Telegram CLI working in my ZM server (easy, just followed some instructions detailed here https://github.com/vysheng/tg), and wrote a simple bash script that allows me to send a message and a picture of the event.

This is the script, adapted from many different sources on the web:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/expect
set user [lindex $argv 0]
set text [lindex $argv 1]
set image [lindex $argv 2]
set video [lindex $argv 3]
# this is the path where telegram CLI is installed and the public key for the server
spawn /usr/src/telegram/tg-master/telegram -k /usr/src/telegram/tg-master/tg.pub
expect "User"
send "msg $user $text\r"
send "send_photo $user $image\r"
send "send_video $user $video\r"
expect "Sent:"
send "safe_quit\r"
expect eof

It seems reasonable to add a new option in the filter settings, to allow users to send also a instant message instead of sending an email, ftp to a server, etc. If I have time, I will try to add the option in the filter window and also add the code in the zmfilter.pl. I have experience programming in C#, Tcl and VB, but I'm not 'fluent' in Python, Perl or PHP, so, if anyone wants to take the credits and add this feature...just go ahead!

Regards,

PacoLM

I hope this script still work's because since I have found about WhatsApp new update I also migrated to Telegram.

I have also switched to telegram but the problem is my friends and family use Whatsapp, not one of them is using telegram.

Yeah...telegram has lots of functionalities than other social apps and it's interface is also a little complex than other apps. That's one of the reason many people don't it.
